Brief summary describing the background
and objectives of the trial
|
Worldwide, the leading cause of death is from cardiovascular disease (CVD) with the majority of deaths occurring in developing countries. There is growing evidence of HIV-related chronic inflammation, immune activation and certain antiretroviral drugs that contribute to the increased presence of metabolic syndrome and potential early onset CVD in people living with HIV. A recent recommendation by the World Health Organization (WHO) is the provision of a cardiovascular risk assessment in all people living with HIV (PLWH) using standard protocols recommended for the general population. The commonly used cardiovascular risk assessment tools are non-specific to HIV and/or resource-constrained settings. Young HIV positive women are faced with the highest incidence of HIV in Africa. The overarching aim of the study is to determine the impact of including screening for prognostic markers of cardiovascular disease on the modification of cardiovascular risk factors in HIV positive women of reproductive age.
